Designs

The United States Mint issues commemorative gold coins with one-time designs marking a particular occasion, honoring a certain event, or celebrating an individual and their life achievements. The designs will, as such, vary based on the design program the coin comes from. Examples include the 2007 Jamestown Gold Coins honoring the 400^th anniversary of the founding of the English settlement at Jamestown.

Other examples include the more recent 2019 Apollo 11 coins and 2019 American Legion coins. These series marked the 50^th anniversary of NASA landing mankind on the Moon and the 100^th anniversary of the founding of the American Legion by US service members located in Paris during World War I.

History

By the 1930s, the US Mint was issuing commemorative coins with dubious designs and multiple issues, lowering the value of the coins in the eyes of collectors. With demand slumping further by 1954, President Eisenhower allowed one last commemorative strike and vetoed all others. The US Mint would not resume commemorative coining until 1982 when the 250^th Anniversary George Washington Half Dollar was struck.
